This analysis presents the results of a comprehensive mapping of the knowledge and research system in Denmark with focus on the role and function of the GTS institutes. The objective of the analysis is to illustrate the role and labour sharing between the actors in the knowledge and research system. A particular objective is to look at what challenges are connected to the way the GTS net is organised today and the GTS net’s position in the knowledge and research system. The analysis is based on existing data and statistics regarding the knowledge and research system and the GTS institutes, as well as completely new knowledge about the research and knowledge system’s actors, including their participation in research- and innovation programs, and the GTS institutes’ assignments and interaction relations. The analysis forms part of an international evaluation of the GTS net initiated by The Danish Agency for Science, Technology, and Innovation. The evaluation frames the background for a strategy for the GTS net which sets out the direction and the priorities for the authorised technological service in Denmark towards 2012. The evaluation will also be seen as part of the action plan “InnovationDenmark 2008” from The Danish Council for Technology and Innovation as well as the government’s globalisation strategy. The main message in the analysis is that the research and knowledge system in Denmark is changing and takes up a larger part of the economy concurrently with new demands for knowledge in the business enterprise sector and the use of new innovation forms. At the same time, the analysis illustrates that there, in certain areas, can be created more and stronger incentives for collaboration between the actors in the research and knowledge system. On the bases of the analysis three overall challenges can be pointed out: · To ensure increased coherence and visibility amongst the actors in the knowledge system in order to give the companies an easier access to the offers of the knowledge system · To create the best frameworks for an increased development effort broadly among other things to direct the effort towards smaller companies and the knowledge service businesses · To create a better framework for the internationalisation of the knowledge system and the business enterprise sector to strengthen the optainment of knowledge from abroad. Looking specifically at the GTS institutes, the analysis presents a range of new understandings of the roles of the GTS net, which supplements those we already know today. A central point in the analysis is that the net of GTS institutes performs an important task within the society. This is not necessarily just as a bridge builder between universities and the business enterprise sector or as the consultant of the consultants. It is to a large degree also with an independent role Mapping of the Danish knowledge system with focus on the role and function of the GTS net 6 > in relation to building specialist knowledge within business related fields and in relation to boosting the needs of the business enterprise sector as regards the research through networks and partnerships.

The GTS institutes are to an increasing extent international but their international interaction with the research has been decreasing and could be strengthened. The GTS institutes have a broad interaction with the Danish business enterprise sector but within the last couple of years they have lost focus on the smaller companies and companies within the knowledge service businesses (the knowledge service is eg.

Creative Industries Research at Copenhagen Business School. CBS, May 2005 A Mapping of the Danish Design Industry Copenhagen Business School · May 2005 Preface The present report is part of a series of mappings of Danish creative industries. It has been conducted by staff of the international research network, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics, (www.druid.dk), as part of the activities of IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at the Copenhagen Business School (www.cbs.dk/imagine). In order to assess the future potential as well as problems of the industries, a series of workshops was held in November 2004 with key representatives from the creative industries covered. We wish to thank all those who gave generously of their time when preparing this report. Special thanks go to Nicolai Sebastian Richter‐Friis, Architect, Lundgaard & Tranberg; Lise Vejse Klint, Chairman of the Board, Danish Designers; Steinar Amland, Director, Danish Designers; Jan Chul Hansen, Designer, Samsøe & Samsøe; and Tom Rossau, Director and Designer, Ichinen. Numerous issues were discussed including, among others, market opportunities, new technologies, and significant current barriers to growth. Special emphasis was placed on identifying bottlenecks related to finance and capital markets, education and skill endowments, labour market dynamics, organizational arrangements and inter‐firm interactions. The first version of the report was drafted by Tina Brandt Husman and Mark Lorenzen, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics (DRUID) and Department of Industrial Economics and Strategy, Copenhagen Business School, during the autumn of 2004 and finalized for publication by Julie Vig Albertsen, who has done sterling work as project leader for the entire mapping project.

  • The Royal House of Denmark 2006 Summary at the Beginning of 2006, Prince Christian Was Baptised in the Christiansborg Palace Chapel in Copenhagen
    Annual report | The Royal House of Denmark 2006 Summary At the beginning of 2006, Prince Christian was baptised in the Christiansborg Palace Chapel in Copenhagen. It was an occasion that attracted considerable interest both in Denmark and overseas. During the year, members of the Royal Family undertook a number of engagements at home and abroad. The traditional summer voyage on board the royal yacht, Kongeskibet Dannebrog, took The Queen and The Prince Consort to North-west Jutland and, in June, The Crown Prince and The Crown Princess, together with Prince Christian, sailed on board the Dannebrog to Bornholm. In the spring, The Queen and The Prince Consort carried out a state visit to Greece, accompanied by a large delegation representing Danish business and cultural interests. As a representative from one of the new member states in the EU, the President of Bulgaria undertook a state visit to Denmark in March. During a visit to Rome in May, The Queen was received at the Vatican by Pope Benedikt XVI. Another significant event in the calendar of the Royal Family was the re-burial of the Empress Dagmar of Russia. It was an important and historical occasion, both in Denmark and in Russia, and it is dealt with in greater detail later in this annual report. Other matters of particular interest are audiences and restoration of the royal palaces. The adjustment and modernisation of work practices within the Court has continued during 2006 with the objective of achieving a more rational and up-to-date approach. It is a pleasure to report that the collective agreement between the Court and the Association of Court Employees has resulted in better planning of working time to the advantage of all concerned.

  • The Castaway by Benandsebastian
    The Castaway by benandsebastian The Castaway The Castaway is a forgery of a transport case from a museum collection in Copenhagen. The original case has a particular characteristic: The object for which it was made has been lost, as have all records of the content. The blown glass insert is moulded from the negative space occupied by the lost content. The case has been carefully copied in China from the original Danish museum transport case. In keeping with the Western tradition of mould-making and casting, the Castaway will eventually exist in an edition of eight copies. The tradition requires that the original case be destroyed following the completion of the eighth piece. As an unoriginal material trace of loss, The Castaway floats in between object and imprint, cast and mould, presence and absence. Materials Transport case: wood, leather, brass, textile, paper Insert: glass Dimensions Transport case: 23 x 23 x 52 cm Glass insert: 18 x 18 x 48 cm benandsebastian Ben Clement, b. 1981, artist Sebastian de la Cour, b. 1980, artist Together, Ben Clement and Sebastian de la Cour form the artists’ duo benandsebastian. In their work, they explore the meaning embedded in spaces and objects under conditions of absence. Their intricate and highly crafted installations have inbuilt gaps and are often on the verge of collapse. Whether taking the form of architectural fragments, mechanical theatres or living artefacts, their works address the idea of a body that is incomplete and vying with its own phantoms. In a process of mimicry and serious play, benandsebastian use their work to question supposedly seamless systems of order.

Undersökningens mål är att ta reda på vilka turister som shoppar i Helsingfors, hur shoppingtemat för tillfället syns i marknadsföringen samt hur det kunde utvecklas ytterligare. I lärdomsprovet undersöks också hur eller genom vilka kanaler turisterna bättre kunde informeras om shopping i Helsingfors. Dessutom un- dersöks vad Helsingfors har att erbjuda som kunde vara speciellt intressant för shop- pingturister. Lärdomsprovet har även som syfte att underöka om information på turis- tens eget språk i samband med shopping kunde ha en positiv inverkan på hur mycket pengar man spenderar på shopping. Lärdomsprovet innehåller även en benchmarkingundersökning av shoppingmöjligheter i Köpenhamn. Syftet med benchmarkingen är att ta reda på hur shoppingen märks i marknadsföringen till turister i Köpenhamn, samt hur den ser ut i jämförelse med Helsingfors.
